TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

making part of this specific thereon, like letters indicating like partswherever they occur.

To enable others skilled in the art to construct and use my invention,My invention relates to hutter-mou1ds, and consists in eonstructin'liioulding and stamping butter in small parcels. In the drawings Figure1 is a side elevation, showing the position of the mould at Figure 2 isa horizontal cross-section on the line a: x of fig. 1.

I Construct my mould of tin or other suitable metal, and of any sizedesired. inside, and tapering from top to bottom, as shown, in fig. 1,and also allow the body is formed to lapover each other, as shown infig, 2. upper side, I fasten ears or handles B B, and around either endof the would I place elastic straps or hands O. The lower end ofthe'mould set into a board, D, prot ided with a recess, E, of thepropersize and shape to receive it/ Into the upper end of the mo uld Iplace a stamp, F, having any desired device on its lowerrside.

In operating my butter-mould, I- place it with its "lower end in therecess E, then put in it the desired quantity of butter. This done, Ipress the stamp F down? against the butter, as shown by the red linesiii-fig. 1, hold it there firmly, and at the same time take hold of theears or handles B B and draw the mould A up over the stamp F. As thestamp F fits closely within the mould/A, the sides of which lap and areheld together by elastic bands 0 only, it will be noticed that the mouldAwill spread and detach itself from the butter, as shown by the bluelines of fig. 1. When the mould is drawn up sufliciently far, themoulded butter can be taken off and the process repeated by simplyremoving or taking out the stamp and placing the would back into therecess.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, is

The expansive mould A, when constructed and arranged as described andfor the purpose set] forth.
